She has been swimming very well across the Arena Pro Swim Series meets and has showed she is not messing around at the Phillips 66 USA Swimming Nationals. DeLoof snagged the top seed of the 50 back with a 27.82 to just miss the meet record held by <strong>Rachel Bootsma<\/strong> at 27.68 from 2013. DeLoof was just ahead of Missouri&#8217;s <strong>Hannah Stevens<\/strong> at 27.94.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kathleen Baker<\/strong> (28.09), <strong>Courtney Caldwell<\/strong> (28.39), <strong>Grace Ariola<\/strong> (28.51), <strong>Caroline Baldwin<\/strong> (28.51), <strong>Amy Bilquist<\/strong> (28.64) and <strong>Katharine Berkoff<\/strong> (28.74) will also swim in the A-final tonight.<\/p>\n<p>The big story of the morning was <strong>Olivia Smoliga<\/strong> who slipped on the start. She fell to 32nd at 29.25 but will still have a chance to make the team in the 100 back tomorrow. Smoliga swam a 28.08 in a time trial later in the session, which would have placed her in the final.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"263345\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ali-deloof-just-misses-meet-record-in-50-back-prelims\/screen-shot-2017-06-29-at-12-34-44-pm\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-29-at-12.34.44-PM-e1498754125392.png\" data-orig-size=\"771,473\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"50-back-women\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Screen Shot 2017-06-29 at 12.34.44 PM&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-29-at-12.34.44-PM-e1498754125392-700x473.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-29-at-12.34.44-PM-1024x640.png\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-263345\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-29-at-12.34.44-PM-e1498754125392-700x473.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2017-06-29 at 12.34.44 PM\" width=\"700\" height=\"473\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ali DeLoof of Club Wolverine has been on a roll since becoming a postgrad at Club Wolverine.
